Alright! I finally got a clip of the sound, as taken from inside the car with a crappy recorder. =) This was the best clip of five, so enjoy. That's mostly second and third gear you're hearing, and there's a tiny bit of distortion when it gets loud. I'm going up to about 5500-6000RPM and keeping near to WOT. WOT is when it got really loud and distorted on the recorder.

Don't everyone comment on the intake sound at once. Hehee. I guess this is a bounce. My first!

Passing smog?

Will this intake pass smog inspection or any other inspections in California? thanks!

sounds nice!!!
I don't see how the sound defers from a simple SRI, as opposed to this one, although I am sure there are heat soak advantages and such...

Re: Re: Passing smog?

I agree with Bijou...I don't know about the regulations in California, but isn't smog usually an exhaust inspection?

Hehee... It's not CARB approved at all, alas. But then again, I live on the other coast, so it's no big deal over here. =) For those of you who want in, e-mail Alex at Prostreet Online so he knows for sure and has a working list. Enjoy!

Yep! You'll have to wait 'till monday for me to get the outside intake noise. Do you want it in the engine compartment? 'Cause it might be difficult to record by taping a recorder too the hood without the recorder flying free and getting wind noise. I'm not sure what hissing noise you're talking about, though? Do you hear it at a particular point?

 

[enigM@]

it's like a quick "pssh" i think right when you're shifting

 

[flat_black]

Oooh... Are you talking about the funny, 'rrk' noise? If so, that's my shifter. =) The polyurethane bushing for my Kart Boy shifter squeaks nicely when it slips into gear.
